Sounds like an interesting article; maybe I will find some time to read it.
There is a little (minor yet annoying) difference also described in my article: http://karolrvn2.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/scjp-ocjp-inspired-comparison-of-an-aspect-of-java-and-csharp/

Visit http://code.google.com/p/stab-language
You’ll find a new Stab language for Java with c# syntax. It’ in beta2.

One thing to bear in mind about C#’s properties is that they have additional meaning to them over a public variable or getters and setters.

The way almost all properties I’ve seen are saying “Oi, here is a bit of information in this class that you might want to look at.” One (bad) example is autobinding properties of IEnumerable to a DataGridView.

Java doesn’t have this. getAddress() might be returning a “property” of the class address or an address object to be messed with or or or… Having a property means more than just a method or a variable.

I will have to look into Scala more, I haven’t really looked at it much at all. Perhaps I’ll do a post once I have given Scala a try. Thanks for pointing this out.

I would suggest comparing C# to a newer JVM language, say Scala, and seeing the differences. Java hasn’t moved as fast as C# so the comparison isn’t as interesting as with a newer JVM language. I would definitely be interested in the comparison between C# and Scala.

Here is the Scala code for the filtering and counting.

val numbers = Array(5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0)
val oddNumbers = numbers.filter(n => n % 2 == 1).length

or shorter using an anonymous variable in place of ‘n’:

val oddNumbers = numbers.filter(_ % 2 == 1).length
